Norske Skog announces review of operations at 150,000 tonne/yr newsprint mill in New Zealand

摘要

Norske Skog has announced a strategic review of operations at its Tasman newsprint mill in Kawerau, New Zealand. The firm ascribed the move to a profound and, it anticipates, permanent drop in Australasian newsprint demand consequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. Local sources anticipate the company will come up with a preferred option for Tasman's future early next year, at which point consultations will start with the mill's 160 employees.
